Report on the Invocation of the Emergencies Act

Report on the Invocation of the Emergencies Act

In June of 2022, the Report of the Standing Committee on Finance was released in relation to the Invocation of the Emergencies Act and Related Measures.
The report was focused on the financial sanctions that occurred against Canadians during the time the Emergency Act was in effect.

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms, proper rules of evidence and investigatory conduct and due process are all checks and balances to ensure that Police and the Government never have to look back on their actions and say “oops”. The mere fact that these institutions so hastily and recklessly avoided these proper procedures is a tragedy.
